A COURAGEOUS sgouthe-n Maiden.

The brick house to the left of StevenSon's
ztation, the scene of Mondays fight, was the
abode of one of the stateliest, queenliest, saul
ciest girls in all that old valley. Not man
IL our army but had heard her tongue abus-
ing the hated Yankees, and not one of all our
forces whom she had not captivated with her
dark beauty, for she was a rich, ripe bru-
Hette, commanding and statuesque, and never
more bewitching than when she poured tor
rents Of abuse upon Us as We passed by her
door going up the valley. Her sweet little
curses were music to Us. She told us as we
went up that the Confederates would chase
Us back Do you know that l verify believe
that the presence of that tall, beautiful girl
on the veranda of that grand old Virginia
mansion on Monday morning was at once an
inspiration to both armies, who fought in her
presence and under her eye, as medieval
ksights contended for the smiles Of beauty in
the tournaments of old.
There she stood as the battle RACED, firm
and passionless as a statue through all those
dreadful five days Of carnage and confusion,
though her house was III the very center of
she battle end the contest ragged all around
her. More than one shot or shell went clear
through t.Se house. She stood unmoved, her
arms folded, like "a beautiful but pitiless god
dess gazing down at the strife. More than
once men turned for moment in the heat of
the conflict with flushed and stained faces,
so look with wonder and admiration at the
impressive picture Volleys of grape and
canister, showers of mimic balls and buck
shot rained against the walls and around her
feet, but we thought that not all the bullets
IN the world, shot at once by all the men in
the world, could or would have touched that
beautiful Spirit of the Battle Private Dal-
